Hydrocooler

The Allround hydrocooler is designed to extend the shelf life of fresh produce, especially effective for carrots, and preserve its quality by rapidly cooling it down before storage or transportation. The machine showers the produce with a continuous film of cold water as it moves on an Intralox conveyor, ensuring fast and uniform cooling in a fully controlled manner.

The system operates with a water basin located beneath the machine, where water is collected and pumped back into a water distribution system above. From there, the water is evenly distributed across cooling plates, creating a cold water shower that cools the produce in a fully controlled manner. Organic particles are remove from the water and pump it back to the water basin. Infrared temperature sensors at both the infeed and outfeed ends continuously monitor the cooling process. Water level sensors, valves for emptying tanks, and an inspection hatch make operation and maintenance simple.

For added flexibility, the hydrocooler can be designed with two lanes to handle different product grades simultaneously. With capacities ranging from small-scale to high-volume production, the Allround hydrocooler provides a reliable and energy-efficient solution for maintaining freshness and ensuring high-quality results in vegetable processing.
